Artificial Intelligence is slowly taking over our day to day lives – especially when it comes to the workplace and using tech to enhance and fast-track tasks. There are many sectors in which AI can help improve services – specifically national health services, banking and legal services. Not only do some of the biggest names in tech debate over the future of AI and how it continues to make life easier and better for many, but we are now seeing some of the biggest tech companies now recruiting heavily in AI. But, who is recruiting for AI roles the most and is making big steps in looking toward the future? With AI-related jobs more than doubling over the past three years and job postings related to AI increasing by 119 percent, RS Components has analyzed job posts from some of the world's biggest tech companies to discover who has the highest percentage of AI-related job openings.

Elon Musk, the billionaire tech entrepreneur, has also voiced fears over the potential threat AI technology poses. "If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea," he said last year. However Mr Schmidt argued that the benefits AI brings to technology and medical advances outweigh concerns about the negative effects - and he insisted "humans will remain in charge of [AI] for the rest of time". He said: "Everyone immediately then wants to talk about all the movie-inspired death scenarios, and I can confidently predict to you that they are one to two decades away. "So let's worry about them, but let's worry about them in a while." He went on to say that the technology had major flaws and would always be within the control of humans. He said: "I want to remind everyone these technologies [AI] have serious errors in them and they should not be used with life-critical decisions.

Technology will impact some 60 percent of all occupations, according to a July 2016 report by McKinsey. For professionals in these jobs, the report says, 30 percent or more of their activities will be automated over the next several years. Jobs that require high levels of creativity or people management are the least at risk, the report says. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and dozens of other leaders penned an open letter in 2015 about the potential dangers AI poses to jobs and humanity. Musk says that so many jobs will be replaced by AI it may lead to the creation of a universal basic income, with governments providing citizen's with a wage.

Apps that help you translate different languages can be extraordinary helpful, but sometimes you want to understand a foreign language immediately. In a decade, that could very well be a reality thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence, Greg Corrado, the co-founder of Google's deep learning project dubbed Google Brain, said in a roundtable discussion with journalists Thursday. In 10 years, it will be possible to have a meeting where everyone speaks a different language, but can understand one another by wearing special earbuds, he said. "That is totally science fiction today, but it's the kind of thing I'd take the 10-year bet on," he said. To make that technology a reality, there will need to be advancements in a type of artificial intelligence called machine learning, or training computers to learn on their own.

The environmental costs of moving data around the world or building a better smartphone often go unappreciated. Both tasks take a great deal of energy and other resources, though the effects are often felt hundreds or thousands of miles from most end users. The world's biggest technology firms are increasingly focused on finding ways to go green. Facebook announced in January that it is building a new data center in Ireland powered entirely by renewable energy. In March, Apple introduced a recycling robot named "Liam" that can surgically disassemble old iPhones so their parts can be reused.
